From Today's Reading:
"How have you defined sacrifice? Is it always suffering
physical death or cultural distance from your family? Where are you getting
your love, your respect, your acceptance? Are you willing to give those things
to the Master? What is easy for you may be sacrifice for another. Are you
measuring your sacrifice by what is hard for someone else? Are you willing to
be the sacrifice (as opposed to making it)?"
Yesterday the journal talked about living simply, today it is sacrificially. What we give up, what we let die, determines what will live in the new us.
I'm currently killing the weeds in my yard, so that I can grow green grass. Something has to die before I what needs to live can live. If the weeds don't die first, the grass won't grow.
On this journey - what are you willing give up? What are you willing to let die? What are you willing to kill? What are you wanting to come ALIVE? If God is speaking to you, and you feel comfortable, please share.

Live|DEAD
Please pray for the Afar people today.
